> Why do I always fall for such crappy articles, hoping to discover that one extension that I've never heard about??! Lighthouse has been integrated into Chrome for ages, yet here the author thinks we need to install an extension for it 🤦🏻‍♂️. And uBlock Origin seems to work just fine on the latest Chrome version, if it ever stops doing so I will replace it with whatever does at the time.
